I actually liked the ending a lot of AoF, probably more satisfying than BMT.
But the reason why I critisise it is because there were some characters whose storyline I simply didnt care much about... But obviously there are other readers out there who liked the characters more than me, & so enjoyed the book more. _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

But you see at least we know we get more BMT books, whereas with AoF, she needed a more solid ending  _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

i think she'f rather not make a solid ndin coz after all, she might decide 2 hav anuthr book in that world (AoF) =]
Im readin the crappiest book ever my sister recommended, that she read when she was 9, it's called "The Wind SInger" by Willian something, it would be okai if the humour wasnt so childish, I suppose reading the adult books I do, kid books wouldnt satisfy no more =( Any one read it? Is it worth the read? Even though i dont like it much so far im only on the 7th chapter or something, i think ill read it all first, but anyone else willing to give me some shred of hope here:? =) x _________________ *~.~*~..~*~.~*~.~*~..~*~.~*

Well, i never read that...
But I know what u mean, I often read books, & they feel quite childish, because I've read more adult books.
But If you want some good books 2 read, read the section of this site about authors, you can see what we recommend...
But I definately recommend Jennifer Fallon, her Demon Child Trilogy Its brilliant, especially if you liked BMT... _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

I ordered that trilogy yesterday and can't wait! Few of my friends redommanded it to me and I'm sure it's great. Is it true that it is somehow similar to BMT? That's what I've heard... _________________ Време не постоји, али пролази тако брзо да нам се понекад замагли пред очима.

Yes, strangely, It reminded me of BMT, especially the humour I think
I think the Demon Child Trilogy is my fav trilogy, along with BMT I havnt read her other books, its tricky getting her books in shops I find...
Now, just to cover myself, please dont hunt me down if you dont love Jennifer Fallon as much as me! But I found her writing addictive...
But it took me a few chapters to get into book 1, but after that...  _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

I cant wait to hear what you think of her books
But I understand, I have lots to read as well...Its tough with college to find enough time to read
Oh, back to the topic of Akkarin... Has anyone read any other book with a character they loved just as much as him? _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

Oh great!
I really enjoy Alex Rider as well, I hate how a lot of people say its for boys...
I met Anthony Horowitz in Easons in the town where I live, he was very nice But It was a bit embarassing cos it was mostly 13 year old boys there, and I was a 16 year old girl lol Anyway, got my books signed.
I quite like the character of Alex, he's fab Real spunky and clever. _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

Exactly! I didn't no people said it was for boys tho, but I guess it makes sence. People r stuck with the idea people cant like a book if the main character is of the opposite gender. =/.
BMT FanBoys R Living Proof That Its A Lie =D
He is very smart I agree, do you know when/if Point Blanc is coming out in a movie? ALEX PETTYFER IS SOOOO <3 =) lol x _________________ *~.~*~..~*~.~*~.~*~..~*~.~*

Oh, he is Hot alright!
I think they r making the 2nd film, but they r getting a different actor for Alex. He's 19 in real life by now
I think girls often read "boys" books.But boys dont read "girls" books at all lol At least not usually...
Yeah for BMT fanboys!!!!  _________________ -ALCHEMIST-

True, girls can be more open minded most the time, thankfully there are acceptions on the boys side of things ^-^.
Oh yeah, I forgot. They basically want to turn a great book into a rip off of James Bond. I mean, I know it was compared to that, but c'mon!! =C
True, he is older. Serves the STIPID DIRECTORS RIGHT. They need to do it sooner! =C
I want Pettyfer ='C _________________ *~.~*~..~*~.~*~.~*~..~*~.~*
